71
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: It looks like a pretty decent day here in Boston

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: coming up on sunrise. We've get clear skies and twenty

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: five degrees. And as I communicate the forecast to you,

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: please know this is the first time that I'm looking

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: at the forecast as we speak mainly clear skies. Maybe

76
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: I should be a little bit more prepared. Mainly mainly

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: clear skies Overnight today temperatures will drop into the teens

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,960

80
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: were talking about where we get a little bit of

81
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: a thaw during the daytime hours and then some cold

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: blast overnight. Now the problem is is the cold is

83
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: really going to win out here, and that's going to

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,040

Speaker 1: Could be a coding to an inch of snow, but

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,440

88
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: an Arctic cold front, because this weekend is going to

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,480
